Boudou says that the inherent honesty of rock music is his formula to reach the people, tired of dishonest politics and politicians.

Amado Boudou keeps three photograph frames on his desk at the Economy Ministry: in the first one, he is hugging Argentine rock star Andrés Calamaro, in the second one, he is next to activist and “Madres de Plaza de Mayo” founder Hebe de Bonafini, and the third one is of the day Cristina Fernández was sworn in as President.
